I'm pretty sure if I ever took a job where I was dumber than most of my coworkers I wouldn't stay there more than 3 months (whether I wanted to or not)

Sometimes I worry about this, then I realize I'm never taking a job in Mensa.

Also: working hard for other people sucks, a lot. And this thread was a great idea.

re: working

I'm of two minds right now. I currently have my schedule set to four ten-hour days so that I get three days off each week. During these three days I currently do a little consulting but it's actually very little. Right now I have the choice of either expanding the amount of consulting work that I do, which is pretty basic stuff with databases and whatnot, or approaching poker like it's my job for those three days and seeing where that goes. Actually, I can't just magically expand the amount of consulting I do unless people are willing to pay me to do it, which means canvassing for business, which is another time investment with no guaranteed payoff. I also realize that poker may just be an excuse to sit around on my ass for 10 hours a day on my days off.

But there's no chance of me not being the smartest person at work, I could bash myself in the skull with a sledgehammer, smoke a bong full of stupid and lobotomize myself with a pitchfork and I'd still be a dazzling intellectual giant compared with my colleagues.

Amp, imagine being in the casino business. There are some real Einsteins running around making completely insane decisions in this racket. I think that even Scott Howard's Mom would be smarter than the average casino manager by about 100 IQ points.

My life used to be like this...before I found Puzzles and Other Games and before I met a girlfriend whose IQ is about 116 points higher than mine.

I wouldn't say I am dumber. I would say that I am less productive. If there is an index of usefullness that is comprised of intelligence/productivity and drive I am on the lower end. I just need to work harder.
